Frontier Airlines, a wholly owned subsidiary of Republic Airways
Holdings, Inc. announced on Wednesday that customers can now travel with
their small, furry friends in the cabin of the aircraft for a $75
each-way pet fare.

The new in-cabin
pet policy applies to small dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters
or small household birds. All pets must fit into a carrier that fits
under the airplane seat and they must have proper health documentation
in order to fly.

“We have spent a
lot of time listening to our customers and determining what would make
their travel experience even better,” said Ian Arthur, vice president of
marketing and branding. “We received a lot of feedback on our pet policy
and determined that pets would be a welcome addition to the Frontier
travel experience.”

In addition to allowing small pets in the cabin, Frontier also
accommodates larger pets as checked baggage. Pets weighing more than
20 pounds, who do not fit the pets-in-cabin requirements, may be
checked for a $150 fee.

Frontier Airlines is a wholly owned subsidiary of
Republic Airways Holdings, Inc., an airline holding company that owns
Chautauqua Airlines, Lynx Aviation, Midwest Airlines, Republic Airlines
and Shuttle America.
Currently in its 16th year of operations, Frontier employs more than
5,500 aviation professionals and operates more than 550 daily flights
from its three hubs at Denver
InternationalAirport, Milwaukee’s
General
MitchellInternational
Airport
and Kansas CityInternationalAirport.
Frontier offers routes to more than 70 destinations in the United States,
Mexico
and Costa Rica.

On April 13, 2010, Republic Airways announced that its two branded
carriers, Frontier and Midwest,
would combine under the Frontier Airlines name. The integration of
these two airlines is expected to take 12-18 months.
